sugary sweet

Yesterday I was running and two specific things made me smile. One was running by the Governor's mansion, where there were not one but TWO newspapers stuck in the fence at 6pm. It just struck me as funny that they have such an immaculate lawn and yet no one can bring in their papers from the rain when they're not home. Then I ran by a restaurant where there was a large group of adults engrossed in conversation, and one little girl who looked out the window instead. She waved at me as I ran by, and I smiled as I waved back.

I got a hula hoop and it's pretty awesome. Today I had some friends over and we made chocolate chip cookies, and then I had to show off my hula skills. It took some time, but I managed to get the hoop going while eating a cookie and drinking milk. And as I swung my hips around I said, "I am so happy right now."

Wow, after writing this all out it kind of makes me want to barf.
